"Stayed here for a night. Orlando, the owner, welcomed us and showed us the room. He was very nice and hospitable. The room was clean, I liked the interior design of the suite we got. We met two kittens who were friendly. If you like cats, they will gladly enter your room. If you don’t, you might want to consider. They are very sneaky going inside, but they are cute. On the way up there after entering the gate, the roads were pretty rough. We had a car rental so we drove slowly down the...

"I was in the area solely to assess whether a suitable region to potentially retire to, and to see what was available for land purchase: thus I just needed basic accomodations...quiet for sleeping...comfortable bed...and clean. Las Cabinas Suenos met those needs. The owner Ledys replied promptly to all my queries and the check-in went smoothly."

"The place was very clean and the kitchen had everything we need to cook. The rooms where smalls and the beds confortable. We also enjoyed the fans and the outdoor space with hamacs. The pictures were accurate. We also liked the nice view of the mountains and it was close to some nice restaurant and Rio Celeste. The communication with the host was very good. Thank you, we recommend this place without hesitation."
